tell that to those PR who stays in johor and drive to work

If it is a month...might as well submit an appeal.

chances of a different person evaluating who is more lenient.
seriously, that could be a chance...but whether one should risk it or not is up to the applicant.
there is also the chance of getting someone stricter and screwing the applicant over the ignorance of the notice to wait.

when i got my PR, the officer only told me i cannot drive until i convert my license.
she never mentioned if there is a deadline or not.
i have yet to convert mine...if 3 months

so many posts...lazy quote all from samual8833
all i sense is pure rage and ranting
you CLAIM to have a very good degree and 5 years exp (3 in mnc)...so now you know the job market like the back of your hand?

all those our certs are useless in MNC cause Caucasians consider us all as asians <-- okay...valid to a certain extent. However, how often does one get a Caucasian as the hiring manager here? just because it is a MNC does not mean your boss is definitely a Caucasian.

your exp is definitely a fit for the job u applied in sg <-- deemed by you not the hiring manager. what you think is only as far as boosting own confidence. too much causes a negative effect (probably the case now). job description in ads often deviates from real life.

good luck in your job search

i dun even know why tat guy is in this thread if all he thinks is that we will never be hired because we are foreigners.
i guess everyone here are abnormal cases who went to accept fresh grade pay and ignore our experience.

i dun even know what to reply here
so u are the best in everything you do
u know the inside out of every single mnc's
it is a loss to the companies that they do not want to hire such a talented person.
i give up...

i have no idea what is toutoring...i am assuming you are referring to trolling
if u think i am trolling (yes, i admit i m starting to)...wait till u see the main trolls for this thread appear.
Try to accept and share?
Everyone here is sharing to the extent of the comfortable zone...but can YOU accept it?


so you were a fresh graduate? wow, is that some sort of achievement that only you alone and a limited few throughout the world can achieve?
fresh graduate should be paid entry level pay and be paid more when they gain more experience? OMG...the whole world did not know of such discovery. thank you for enlightening us.

stop beating around the bush.
so u were offered a entry level pay which u do not think is what you deserve and you are pissed and that is all
there is no need to give all kind of excuse to make ur irrelevant stand of u being a foreigner (a malaysian) and the conversion rate having anything to do with it
so the PRC should be paid half, 1k instead since the exchange rate for RMB to SGD is 5:1 instead of 2.5:1 for RM:SGD
grow up and move on. the whole world does not revolve around you.
if this company does not value you...why the hell are you still interested in that company.
u understand that there is a pay grade scale...so if you are offered an entry level pay...that means the position you are applying is an entry level job and they do not think you are capable enough to be paid for a more senior role. do you even understand such logic?
just because u have a reputable degree and have 5 years of experience does not entitle u to anything.

my opinion...not really impossible
yes, there will be more applications for MNC hence more competition, but that is also subjected to more job opening due to larger scale operations.
as a fresh grad, just apply anything and everything that you are interested in.
some may say that your first job will determine your career path, but you already have a picture of your future...a bit vague, but at least u have an idea

from the img...looks more like woodlands mrt
cause of the posb ad saying woodlands and the stairs + escalator matches that station also

tat is assuming u find a job in 1 month
if the job finding drags for...lets say 6 months.
can you afford that kind of expenses?

my advice
1. set a limited time frame for applying jobs in sg - 1 or 2 months up to you
2. if response is not that hot during that time frame...start applying for a job back home (actually u can do it concurrently, up to you)
3. try again in a few years or u can continue to apply

raffles exchange charges sgd10 per transaction
however, if the amt u tt is more than rm10k...they waive the fee

yes...but u need to go back MY FF to "renew" the passport every 3 months
i have a colic doing it with his thai membership

this is a very abstract question which differs from person to person and also depends on the exchange rate
RM50k in 3 years ~ RM17k per year ~ SGD7k per year based on 2.5 exchange rate
u do ur own calculation and consider the feasibility yourself.

oh...have not done 3.
for 2, u can apply online
banks...i have yet to update too , called citibank, apparently i need to walk in
landlord...i also malas update

seriously? asking such a question?
u are not even allowed to drive in your own country, what makes you think you can for another country?

only u need to work...the rest of us do not?
all this can be found with just a simple search on the internet
you could have at least searched first and ask if u are unsure.
